In previous versions of Firefox I could enter umlauts (öüä) or other non-basic
characters with a US keyboard (and US keyboard layout) using a two-step process:
1. press alt-someletter, 2. press some other letter.

With Alt-u for instance the dots of the umlaut would appear, which would be
combined to the a-umlaut when pressing a afterwards.

Doesn't work any longer. Pressing Alt-u has no result whatsoever. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. press alt-u
2. press a

Actual Results:  
an a-umlaut should appear

Expected Results:  
nothing appears

WFM in FF 1.0.6 and Deer Park Alpha 2. This is either a problem with a nightly
or two or we need more info.
